Faith, Hope, Love - Happy Easter

FAITH, HOPE, LOVE

were the word options available on this simple cross.

I reflected on each of those meaningful words - I chose the cross with the word LOVE.

 "...And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."

1 Corinthians 13:13

 

May your Easter be filled with Faith, Hope and Love!

Welcome to our Easter Joy and Springtime decor 

 

 

The clear/whitish egg in this nest is actually a beautiful Selenite stone.

Along with eggs in this nest is a polished red Jasper stone and

Easter Memories

My fond childhood memories of Easter 

 

Up early to check out our Easter baskets before racing outside to hunt the
Easter Bunny's hidden eggs. 

Ready for church... although there were those Easters when we also wore white cotton gloves and Spring bonnets.  

In the afternoon, extended family some 40 or 50 aunts, uncles, and cousins gathered at my Grandma Jennielee's home... cherished memories!  It was one of the few times during the year I saw my favorite cousin Cheryl.
Cheryl & I packed a lot of sweet memories into that one day. 

Everyone feasted on holiday potluck dishes, the adults hid Easter eggs and the children enjoyed a massive Easter egg hunt.
Later the adults shared family stories and the cousins played.

As I grew older I added movies to some of my favorite memories- 
The Ten Commandments, The Robe and Easter Parade.  
  
"In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade."

 Ok, did you just hum along as you read those lyrics?  

Easter bonnets, should we revive them?

 

 Our sons are now grown, there are no more Easter egg hunts, but their Easter baskets are full and waiting for them when they arrive later today to our Easter dinner.  

A major project on my To Do List is to scan old photos into digital files like those of our sons childhood Easters.   


Beyond my fond Easter memories, I cherish Christ promise  

He is Risen indeed!

Easter Blessings to you
